Google and Microsoft Team Up?

Microsoft again announced a software shift to the internet Microsoft Offers a Web-Based Strategy and Microsoft Describes Technology Behind Software Plus Services . The problem is that they are keeping their current strategy including their barriers to on-line development. Their main effort to stop software development on the web is the reduction of script memory in Microsoft Explorer. They recently lowered memory yet again. Microsoft Explorer has a flaw that makes reducing the memory even worse. The browser can not reclaim memory and will eventually freeze up. It takes a lot of script to cause it to freeze but relatively little to cause lag. Microsoft is building a massive server farm to store data on a server system instead of the browser. Google also has one of these billion dollar server farms. So this appears to be a move to limit browser software from any company with less than a billion dollars. The problem with this type of artificial limitation is that it only prevents traditional software development. If a start-up develops an architecture that is memory lean it can skip the billions in cost while enjoying little competition.
